There is no difference. Both are usually round, both some times are open top, a silo is a tank. PE API650 Tank Engineer 2007
Are you sure that's difference and not just a half-witted example of sameness?
It all comes under Fluid dynamics/mechanics, and it's the same set of symbols for circuits. Many hydraulic symbols will include a drain to the tank. Pneumatic circuits use the atmosphere as their "tank".
A sump pump is submerged in a pit. It keeps house from flooding. A utiliity pump is used to pump water out of already flooded house, boat, pool, tank, etc....
A tank can leak from the bottom of the fill valve where the supply line connects, from the bolts holding the tank to the bowl and from the gasket between the tank and the bowl. That is if there is water on the floor. If it is leaking into the bowl, that is the flapper in the bottom of the tank. Any and all of these can be replaced cheaply and fairly easily. The only issue is when you tighten the bolts between the tank and the bowl do not over tighten one side, go between both sides and tighten each one a few turns and then the other. There should be a ridge on the top of the bowl under the tank that is as tight as you should go. Just until the tank touches the ridge.
